Great game, but with some technical glitches. Still worth buying as it is the most realistic combat sim to date. Period

Honestly, I've been waiting for this game a long time. Before, Operation Flashpoint was my most favourite, better than BF2 or any other game because of its grand schale and possibility to do whatever you wanted. Not very arcadish like BF series but more long lasting and tactical.
When I downloaded Armed Assault from the German online vendor, at first I was shocked. I run a X3800 dual core with 7800GTX and 2 GB of memory and it was still running crappy, so crappy I could almost cry. How on earth did that engine run so bad. Blood in the air. More people were complaining because of serious performance issues. Since patch 1.02 that has been improved. The performance is a lot better and I can consider the game playable now. It looks good and I start discovering stuff. I loved OFP because of the Multiplayer fun. If you are smart, you can prove that by playing OFP. You need tactical insight. Now, with Arma, thats again possible. The game clearly shows the difference between a shoot em up-player and a tactical gamer.

The graphics are great, and sound is good too. All is fine but just want to warn people who love quick shoot em ups and rambo style shooters: don't play this game. You prolly wont like it.

For all those who want to learn and experience the most realistic war simulator to date and got tired of BF2, a definate buy recommedation
